Sums up Surrey's atrocious season really, trying to bring in the most unpredictable player in world cricket without any paperwork to play just 3 championship games. i can't believe how badly we've done this season and it just shows how bad we are without 2000+ runs from Ramprakash.

Do Surrey have to win both thier games in order to avoid relegation? or a win and a draw will do it?

Two wins needed - Shoaib has a big job on !

   Big match in Div 1 starts today - Durham away to Somerset.  Harmison plays and that Taunton pitch won't do him any favours. Bowling the home side out twice will take some doing. I'll go with the draw because of the pitch and the English weather!
       Both have 3 matches left , Notts just 2 - down to the wire !

Rain delays the start at Taunton , who'd have thought it !   No summer again , but winter won't go missing !

A good day for Durham yesterday , as they dismissed Somerset for just 224 after Langer decided to bat first. Fine performance by Steve Harmison too , who took 5-84 with some quite hostile bowling. At the close Durham were 45-1 and in a good position to go on and win even though day 1 was a complete wash out.
        I expect JP is a little tetchy this morning !

We're trying our 'forget how to bat on day one before recovering later on' strategy again. It will be severely tested against Harmison though.

We need wickets, and quickly this morning, else the Championship will have to wait for another year. I'm not tetchy, as Sledge puts it as I think all Somerset fans are delighted that we are where we are and not battling relegation.

Big game on Sunday against Lancashire - the winner earns a spot in a play-off to stay in Pro40 Division One.

We just need to nobble Steven Croft - he was outstanding last night in their one run win over Nottinghamshire.

Hearty congratulations to Durham , thoroughly deserved their maiden county championship after winning more games than anyone else. Those 60 wickets from Steve Harmison were very welcome , but it was a real team effort.
           Total disaster for Kent though , how can such a talented mob get relegated?  Maybe they need to bring in a curator who'll liven up that Cantebury pitch.
           Lancashire and Yorkshire managed to get out of jail , with the former winning their last two matches. Good win it was too in the last match. I won't go into details , but if you're interested just ask JP !Wink
